Might be a skipper. Note that location is very approximate since this speciment was caught in an air intake on a car.

In the white antemedial patch under the forewing : A. callisto has a black rectangle rather than the round black spot shown in this photo.

Additionally, MoV 8 CD notes feisthamelii as a 'day flying species found in subalpine grasslands' while 'Moths in the ACT' (Cocking, Bond, Edwards, 2022) inform us feisthamelii 'flies for a restricted period from mid spring to early summer.'
